Binge eating disorder(BED)is a common eating disorder whose pathogenesis involves both neurobiological and psychological mechanisms.At the neurobiological level,the development of BED is associated with abnormal resting-state brain functional connectivity in the reward circuitry,dysregulation of the endocannabinoid system,and elevated leptin levels.This paper reveals that the neurobiological mechanisms of BED may influence psychological processes,including habitual behavioral imbalances and impaired emotion regulation.Conversely,the dysfunction of behavior in the psychological domain may further modulate neurobiological manifestations.This finding provides insights for future research aimed at systematically integrating neural mechanisms into clinical interventions,ultimately facilitating treatment advancement and prognostic improvement.

Objective:To explore the association between sublingual microcirculatory perfusion vessel proportion (PPV), high mobility group protein B1 (HMGB1), and sepsis-induced coagulopathy (SIC), and to identify early predictive markers for clinical intervention.Methods:A total of 66 septic patients admitted to the Respiratory Intensive Care Unit (RICU) between November 2021 and May 2024 were enrolled. Based on SIC diagnosis within 24 hours of admission, patients were categorized into SIC ( n=36) and non-SIC ( n=30) groups. Clinical parameters, including prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), sublingual PPV, and serum HMGB1 levels (measured at 0 h and 6 h), were analyzed. Logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analyses were performed to identify independent predictors. Results:Compared with the non-SIC group, the SIC group demonstrated significantly prolonged PT ( P<0.05) and APTT ( P<0.05), elevated 0 h lactate levels, and increased 6 h HMGB1. Spearman analysis revealed a positive correlation between 6 h PPV and platelet count ( P<0.05), while an inverse correlation was observed with 6 h PT ( P<0.05). Multivariate regression identified APTT, 6 h PPV, and 6 h HMGB1 as independent predictors of SIC. ROC analysis yielded AUC values of 0.732 for APTT, 0.802 for 6 h PPV, and 0.765 for 6 h HMGB1. The combination of 6 h PPV and HMGB1 further improved predictive accuracy (AUC=0.873). Conclusions:Prolonged APTT, decreased 6 h PPV, and elevated 6h HMGB1 are key indicators of SIC. Integrated assessment of these markers enhances early risk stratification in septic patients, facilitating timely clinical intervention.

Alexithymia refers to a deficiency of emotional structure, but the neurologic and psychological mechanisms of non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) in adolescents are still unclear. The neural basis of alexithymia may play a role in adolescents′ NSSI by affecting the function of emotion regulation and emotion expression. At the same time, NSSI is also considered to be a non-adaptive emotional regulation mode for alexithymia individuals, which interacts with personality factors and psychosocial factors. This study explored the neuropsychological mechanism of alexithymia in adolescent NSSI from the perspective of emotional function, and provided theoretical basis for early identification and precise intervention of alexithymia and adolescent NSSI.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics of immune-related psoriasis caused by immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs).Methods:The patients with newly developed or worsening psoriasis after ICIs treatment in Department of Oncology, the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University from November 2019 to October 2023 were enrolled in this study. The patients′ gender, age, tumor type and stage, usage and dosage of ICIs, drugs applied in combination, history of psoriasis, the time of new onset or deterioration, clinical manifestations, intervention measures and outcomes were collected, and descriptive statistical analysis was performed.Results:A total of 13 patients were enrolled in the study, including 10 males and 3 females, with a median age of 66 years. The primary diseases included lung cancer (in 7 patients), gastric cancer (in 5 patients), and cholangiocarcinoma (in 1 patient). The tumor stage was Ⅳ in 12 patients and Ⅲ in 1 patient. Ten patients were treated with programmed cell death 1 receptor (PD-1) inhibitors, 2 with programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) inhibitors, and one with a PD-1/cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 combination antibody. All 13 patients were treated with other anti-tumor drugs at the same time. There were 10 patients with a history of psoriasis and 3 patients with newly developed psoriasis. The median time from the use of ICIs to the onset or deterioration of psoriasis was 54 days. Ten patients were plaque psoriasis and 3 were drip psoriasis. Among the 13 patients, 5, 5, and 3 patients were classified as mild, moderate, and severe, respectively. ICIs treatment was suspended in 11 patients and not stopped in 2 patients. After treatment with glucocorticoids, the skin lesions of 13 patients were improved and ICIs were restarted in 3 patients.Conclusions:ICIs-related psoriasis usually occurs within 2 months after the use of ICIs. The clinical types are plaque-like and drop-like, mostly mild or moderate. The prognosis is good after discontinuing ICIs or giving glucocorticoids and other drugs. Some patients can restart ICIs treatment.

Objective:To observe the application effect of health education based on health action process approach (HAPA) theory in perioperative patients undergoing knee arthroplasty.Methods:Using the convenient sampling method, a total of 168 patients who underwent knee arthroplasty in Henan Provincial People's Hospital from March 2020 to May 2021 were selected, and they were randomly divided into the observation group (85 cases) and the control group (83 cases). The control group received routine care, while the observation group received health education based on HAPA theory on the basis of the control group. The scores of Self-efficacy for Rehabilitation Outcome Scale (SER) and Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 (QLQ-C30), postoperative recovery indicators and complications, patient compliance and patient satisfaction before and after intervention were compared between the two groups.Results:After intervention, scores of SER, QLQ-C30, compliance and satisfaction in the observation group were higher than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The first time of getting out of bed, the time of knee flexion greater than or equal to 90°and the length of hospital stay in the observation group was shorter than those in the control group, and the total incidence of complications was lower than that in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Health education based on HAPA theory can effectively improve the self-efficacy, compliance and quality of life of patients undergoing knee arthroplasty, reduce the risk of complications, promote postoperative recovery and obtain satisfaction of patients.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of lenalidomide combined with bortezomib and dexamethasone (RVd) regimen in treatment of newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) patients and its effect on the levels of regulatory T cells (Treg cells) and natural killer (NK) cells.Methods:Thirty-eight NDMM patients who were admitted to the Second Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical College from September 2019 to May 2022 were selected for a prospective study, and were divided into control group (18 cases) and observation group (20 cases) according to random number table method. The control group was treated with bortezomib+epirubicin+dexamethasone (VAd) regimen, and the observation group was treated with RVd regimen. The efficacy and safety were compared between the two groups. The levels of Treg cells (CD4 + CD25 + FOXP3 +) and NK cells (CD3 - CD56 + CD16 +) before and after treatment in the two groups were detected by flow cytometry, and the results were compared. Results:After 4 courses of treatment, the objective response rate (ORR) of the observation group was 95.0% (19/20), which was higher than that of the control group [77.8% (14/18)], and the difference was statistically significant ( P = 0.016). Before treatment, there was no statistical difference in the levels of Treg cells and NK cells between the two groups ( P values were 0.381 and 0.650). After treatment, the level of Treg cells in the control group increased from (1.5±0.5)% before treatment to (4.7±1.3)% ( P = 0.008), while the level of Treg cells in the observation group increased from (1.4±0.5)% before treatment to (6.8±1.5)% ( P = 0.001), and the level in the observation group was higher than that in the control group ( P = 0.027); the level of NK cells in the control group increased from (16±6)% before treatment to (20±5)% ( P = 0.004), while the level of NK cells in the observation group increased from (16±6)% before treatment to (24±6)% ( P = 0.006), and the level in the observation group was higher than that in the control group ( P = 0.032). The incidence rates of thrombocytopenia and neutropenia in the observation group were higher than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P values were 0.012 and 0.027), which was reversible after active treatment. There was no statistical difference in the incidence rates of other adverse reactions (all P>0.05). Conclusions:RVd regimen for NDMM is clinically effective, safe and reliable, and the patients' levels of Treg cells and NK cells elevate after treatment.

Objective:
In this research, the influence of breviscapine on anxiety, fear elimination, and aggression and the potential mechanism was investigated.
Methods:
Anxiety and locomotion were analyzed by elevated plus maze and open field test in mice. Bussey-Saksida Mouse Touch Screen Chambers were used to perform fear conditioning. Territorial aggression was assessed by resident intruder test. Protein levels were evaluated by Western blot. Breviscapine improved fear-extinction learning in BALB/cJ mice.
Results:
Breviscapine at 20–100 mg/kg increased center cross number, total distance traveled, and velocity in a dose-dependent manner. On the other hand, breviscapine at 20–100 mg/kg decreased the immobility time in open field test. In addition, breviscapine at 20–100 mg/kg increased the ratio of time on the open arm, time on the distal parts of the open arm, and total distance traveled in elevated plus maze. Breviscapine at 100 mg/kg increased the average attack latency and decreased the number of attacks over the last 3 days of resident intruder test. In hippocampus, protein levels of postsynaptic density protein-95 and synaptophysin were elevated by breviscapine at these three doses.
Conclusion
The administration of breviscapine alleviates fear extinction, anxiety, and aggression, while increases locomotor in a dose-dependent manner, which might be associated with its influence on synaptic function.
